So far only 2 ‘themes’ are included, both of which are re-makes of popular Android live wallpapers.

Drawbacks

As fancy as LiveWallpaper is there are drawbacks to using it.

Firstly, it’s not stable, and only a daily-build PPA is available to install from. So expect bugs.

Secondly, as mentioned in the video above, it will cause an impact on overall system performance. If you’ve got an i7 quad-core processor then this will be minimal. But if you’re on a laptop you’ll want to be cautious about running it.

Finally, when Live Wallpaper is running you won’t be able to access or add any links or folders placed on there.

Remember than PPAs can be set up by anyone, so you’re installing this at your own risk.
